A fully integrated stock assessment is presented for HOK 1 modelled with two stocks (western and eastern) and with fish residing in four regions. The western stock is estimated to be lower than the eastern stock, with biomass expected to be 25–43% B0 in 2027 under current catch levels for the western stock and 46–55% B0 for the eastern stock. A simpler model with one stock and one region estimated current biomass to be 37–45% B0 in 2022. Target range for hoki is 35–50% B0.
